À la suite d’une catastrophe mondiale, les pays les plus développés sont envahis par des hordes de zombies cannibales. Seules quelques enclaves subsistent, en Somalie notamment. À la recherche d’un remède au virus, un groupe d’adolescentes surarmées, menées par un vétéran, se rend à New York. Tous se croient préparés au pire. Mais dans l’île de Manhattan en ruine, ils vont bientôt découvrir que la non-mort est loin d’être le destin le plus terrifiant…
David Wellington is a contemporary American horror author, best known for his Zombie trilogy as well as his Vampire series and Werewolf series. His books have been translated into eleven languages and are a global phenomenon.
His career began in 2004 when he started serializing his horror fiction online, posting short chapters of a novel three times a week on a friend’s blog. Response to the project was so great that in 2004 Thunder’s Mouth Press approached David Wellington about publishing Monster Island as a print book. His novels have been featured in Rue Morgue, Fangoria, and the New York Times.
He also made his debut as a comic book writer in 2009 with Marvel Zombies Return:Iron Man.
Wellington attended Syracuse University and received an MFA in creative writing from Penn State. He also holds a masters degree in Library Science from Pratt Institute.
He now lives in New York City with his dog Mary Shelley and wife Elisabeth who, in her wedding vows, promised to “kick serious zombie ass” for him.
